Hey Kenneth! The pics don’t show the damage very well, but there is a crack that goes from the edge of the braking surface and through to the exterior of the drum. Looks like the brakes were likely over adjusted and someone smacked the crap out of the drum with a sledge and cracked it.

How about the drums you just got from Mexico? Are those matches for what I’ve got?
